""We are favourites, that is clear, but I want to see it on the pitch," Flick said. "We have to show our quality on the pitch. It is about how we approach it and how we start. That is the basis of the tie for me. We have to show we are favourites with a great attitude, because it will be difficult otherwise.""
""We have improved a lot in the last four weeks, and we want to continue that development. It is all a process. We are not at the end of the road; we are halfway through the season, and we still have a lot of potential to improve. We aim to win titles, and I think we have the quality to do it, but there is a long way to go. There is still a lot of work to do.""
""But now they turn their attention back to the Copa del Rey, which they have won a record 32 times. On Tuesday, they are given an 85.1% win likelihood by the Opta supercomputer, with Guadalajara's chances sitting at a lowly 7.7%, with a further 7.3% chance of taking the game past 90 minutes. And though Barcelona are overwhelming favourites, both in this round and for the tournament overall, Flick is not taking anything for granted.""
Hansi Flick wants Barcelona to prove their favourite status on the pitch against Guadalajara and to show quality, strong approach, and a positive start to the tie. Barcelona enter the match on a five-match winning streak and remain four points clear atop LaLiga after a 2-0 win at Osasuna. The club has won the Copa del Rey a record 32 times and faces long-shot Guadalajara, with Opta giving Barcelona an 85.1% win chance. Rotation is planned: number one Joan Garcia will be rested, and the starting goalkeeper decision between Wojciech Szczesny and Marc-Andre ter Stegen remains undecided. The squad continues focused on improvement and title ambitions.
